A 20-year-old man from Zvishavane went to jail for taking someone else's exam. Fidelis Chipungu used Hilton Malunga's identity card to write a math test at George Chipadza Secondary School. School officials caught him after he finished the exam on May 26. Police arrested Chipungu when he admitted what he had done. The court gave him two months behind bars but changed it to 70 hours of community work.
The National Prosecuting Authority warns people about exam cheating consequences. Chipungu broke ZIMSEC laws when he pretended to be another student. Officials called him to the deputy headmaster's office after the test ended. He told them the truth about his fake identity during questioning. Authorities want everyone to know that exam fraud brings serious punishment.
Another case happened when a 36-year-old woman from Chipinge hid her baby's birth. She took medicine to start labor and gave birth near Budzi river on May 22. The woman buried her baby at the riverbank after delivery. She became sick and revealed her secret to others later. Judges sentenced her to six months in prison but gave her 210 hours of community service instead.
